Shouldn't do any damage, once it's fit for the road. There's be more force through the force whilst cycling in the real world. I hang one of by bike above a table with two hooks (front and back) and it's ok.

Should be fine. I've hung all our bikes by front wheel for years. Doesn't seem to do any harm.

That's so funny, I have spent all day plucking up how I'm gonna ask my landlord if it'll be ok to install something similar to one of these in my apartment! :S
